Alexandria Troas

Alexandria Troas was an ancient city located on the northwest coast of Asia Minor, near the Dardanelles strait, in present-day Turkey. Founded by Macedonian settlers, it served as a significant port and trading hub during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The city is notable for its archaeological remains, including a theater, temples, and a gymnasium. Alexandria Troas is mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament, as a place where the Apostle Paul visited and preached. Its historical significance lies in both its cultural heritage and its role in early Christian history.
